TPCC President and MLC Mahesh Kumar Goud alleged that the BJP-led government at the Centre is causing hardship to the poor. It is painful to remove the name of Mahatma Gandhi, who believed that the soul of India resides in rural areas. While claiming to be building a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India), the BJP is stifling the development of the poor. He said that the BJP is trying to snatch away the very morsel of food from the mouths of the poor. The Congress, which always stands by the poor, will fight until the Narendra Modi government reverses its decision on the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, he said.
